Athena Swan in SHW

International Group for Staff and Students

Chair: Samuel Owusu Achiaw

Co-chairs: Dikshyanta Rana and Manuela Deidda

The newly formed Athena Swan International Group for Staff and Students (AS IGSS) is a platform committed to addressing the unique and intersectional challenges faced by international staff and students, as well as exploring the impact of these challenges on their academic, professional, mental, and social wellbeing. These challenges include those around visas, immigration, and travel; settling in Glasgow; work-life balance; social engagement; and belongingness.

The group will also serve as a community for international staff and students to network, connect, and share experiences.
